In Demon: The Descent, you play one of the fallen agents of the God-Machine, a former angel who defected to the human race. Now you are Unchained, and search for a place that you can be free, all the while avoiding the notice of the still-loyal agents. You cannot go back to the shining, sterile Heaven.

All you can do is reign in Hell.

Demons must move carefully through the shadowy streets and labyrinthine back alleys of the World of Darkness. The God-Machine and its agents are always watchful for a chance to reclaim these assets. The Unchained use a wide variety of powers, including Embeds that allow them to alter the world on a concept level, and Exploits, which allow great destructive and manipulative power — at the cost of compromising their whereabouts.

The Unchained must take extreme care as they search for Hell. They are pursued by a faceless, vastly powerful entity that has unlimited time and resources, and they have already fallen once.

okay so remember the malkavian mansion from bloodlines? he lived for like 300 years as a malkavian without knowing what vampires were and he was totally sane. then he got introduced to the camarilla and he went insane. whhy

he was always insane it just manifested in his weird obsession in finding out his deal, the madness network just went into overdrive once he started hanging out with vampires since theyre all full of lies and shit more so than regular people.
